Frequently Asked Questions
Why use Base64 images in HTML/CSS?
Base64 embeds image data directly inside HTML/CSS files, eliminating additional HTTP requests for small icons and badges.
What is Base64 used for?
It turns an image into text you can paste directly into HTML, CSS or JSON — handy for small icons and email templates.
Does Base64 make files bigger?
Slightly — about a third larger than the raw image. It is best for small images, not large photos.
